About Our Parish
The beginning of what is now St. Paul’s Catholic Church historically may be said to date back from the establishment of St. Paul’s Major Seminary at its present site in 1938. The seminary chapel offered facilities for worship for the few lay persons who worked in the Seminary with the passage of time and the growth of Benin City, Consequently upon the creation of what became Bendel State;
The Seminary Church became a regular place for celebrating Sunday Mass for the people living in the G.R.A., Ogbe Quarters and environs. Technically, and in all aspects, the area was part of Holy Cross Parish with the approval however of the Most Rev. Patrick J. Kelly, the then Bishop of the Diocese of Benin City, the Rector of the Seminary looked after the spiritual needs of the new and growing community.
